evolution

You've probably learned about vestigial organs in Biology class by now. There are a lot of things that aren't important to humans any more but we've still held onto them in some way. If you've ever seen someone wiggle their ears, it's obvious.

This video shows some of those unnecessary parts and why we used to have them. It also goes into detail about the way that some humans have actually lost those extra pieces.

In case you missed it, Bill Nye and Ken Ham debated yesterday at the creation museum over creationism. You can watch the entire debate yourself here. During and after the debate, both sides took action on the internet saying what they believe and poking fun at the debate.

So Dr. Pepper posted this "evolution of flavor" ad to its Facebook page, creationists and fundamentalist Christians took offense, the evolutionists came out to defend their POV, and now we have confirmation: People are plain batsh*t crazy.

Bill Nye, the knower of all things, is out with a new video in which he encourages creationist parents to embrace their "crazy, untenable, inconsistent" world view -- just so long as they don't force it on their offspring:

If you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine, but don't make your kids do it because we need them.

We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need people that can... we need engineers that can build stuff, solve problems.
